Grumet-Morris was signed Jan. 15, when the parent club Detroit Red Wings were forced to recall Thomas McCollum after Jimmy Howard bruised his knee.

Grumet-Morris remained with the Griffins even after McCollum was reassigned because McCollum injured his finger during a pregame practice with Detroit. But McCollum returned to Griffins practice Monday morning, along with Jordan Pearce, so Grumet-Morris was released.

Grumet-Morris spent five games with Grand Rapids, but didn't see any game action. He backed up Jordan Pearce for three games and Joey MacDonald for two.

Grumet-Morris now returns to the Greenville (S.C.) Road Warriors, where he led the ECHL with a .924 save percentage and was second with 15 wins and a 2.25 goals-against average in 23 games before he was signed.
